Nature Of The Case
This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.
Facts
D treats some comparable secular activities more favorably than at-home religious exercise, permitting hair salons, retail stores, personal care services, movie theaters, private suites at sporting events and concerts, and indoor restaurants to bring together more than three households at a time. The regulations were imposed in order to stop the spread of the Wuhan Flu. Restrictions for at-home meetings were limited to attendance by no more than three households. P wanted to participate in at-home meetings for purposes of religious purposes. P applied for an injunction at the district court which was denied. The Ninth Circuit held that commercial activities pose a lesser risk of transmission than P’s proposed religious exercise at home. The Ninth Circuit declared that precautionary measures might not “translate readily” to the home. It denied the injunction and the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
